What you’re looking at

This page is primarily a **pharmaceutical advertisement** for Nujol, a mineral oil laxative made by Standard Oil Company. The ad uses a common early 20th-century health argument: modern urban life—hurrying, worrying, overeating, under-exercising—causes constipation. The accompanying illustration shows idealized rural/outdoor labor from "early morning until sundown," implying such natural activity would prevent digestive problems. The pitch claims Nujol differs from typical harsh laxatives by acting as a "simple internal lubricant" rather than a stimulant, thus avoiding habit-formation. The right column contains unrelated "Good Stories"—brief humorous anecdotes about lawyers and servants—typical filler content for Judge magazine. The ad reflects period anxieties about modern sedentary life and the era's ready marketing of patent medicines as solutions to everyday ailments.

If You Did This From Early Morning Until Sundown —if the life you lived was the healthful active life Nature intended—you wouldn’t suffer from consti- pation. But that sort of life is im- possible for most of us. We hurry, worry, over-eat and under-exercise. The results—constipation, periodic or chronie—and the use of laxa- tives which aggravate and confirm the constipation habit. NUJOL is a safe and effective means of relieving constipation, and so getting rid of the headaches, nervousness, and depression which constipation causes. It is not a laxative but acts in effect a simple internal lubricant, soften- ing the contents of the intestines and facilitating normal bowel movements, Your druggist has NUJOL.
